D’Angelico Guitars of America is an American musical instrument manufacturer based in Manhattan, New York. The brand was initially founded by master luthier John D’Angelico in 1932, in Manhattan’s Little Italy. In 1999, Steve Pisani, John Ferolito Jr., and Brenden Cohen purchased the D’Angelico Guitars trademark. Cohen serves as the brand’s President and CEO. Original D’Angelico guitars are collector’s items and have been used by musicians including Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Drake Bell, Bucky Pizzarelli, Chet Atkins, and Chuck Wayne. The D’Angelico Mel Bay New Yorker model was featured on the cover of the Mel Bay Publications’ guitar method books for decades.

In 2011, guitars by D’Angelico were included in the ‘Guitar Heroes’ exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Current range of products manufactured by D’Angelico include solid-body, hollow-body, and acoustic guitars, and ukuleles.

The brand’s instruments are manufactured in South Korea, Indonesia, China, and New York City. Before beginning manufacturing, original guitar models were put through an MRI machine and an x-ray to replicate the instruments accurately. It takes approximately 18 months to two years to create one of their master-builder guitars from raw wood. D’Angelico Guitars’ luthiers produce four to five master-builder guitars a month.
